I’d say that she might as well brag. Once Alec gets over the shock of being blindsided, possibly for the first time in his life, he will set out to find who did this. For instance, he could go to the local supermarket and enquire whether anyone purchased a large quantity of honey recently. Of course, he will still have to find Lily without the aid of his sensing ability, but the Avalon is only so big, and indications are that he can get from A to B (and to C, D, E, and so on) with supernatural speed. He will run across her eventually. Unless the talisman prevents him from sensing her at all… Regardless, she will shortly be a marked woman, and might as well enjoy the notoriety to the full.

Ah, but keep in mind that Occam’s razor will probably have him looking for a bugbear first. Of course, since Alec is apparently the only one living in the LA, he’ll only have to find out if anyone new has been seen that day.

Hmm, 3 out of 4 patrons are some sort of goat people. (Whatever grouping has split hooves.)

And you have to wonder if the decor came from proper animals, or what the story behind that is. Then again, I can’t tell if those have been naturally shed. Maybe Blanche sells his shed antlers for a bit of drinking money.

As for Blanche’s antlers, I think he’s got quite a few more years to go before they will attain “display” quality. They’d probably do as craft material in the mean time, though – walking stick handles and the like.

Well to be fair, we don’t know exactly when in the timeline this takes place. Exchanges took place in 2004, this could be far enough in the future since then that Blanche’s antlers could have grown a fair bit.

Alec should consider himself lucky that Lily decided to be literal on the ‘honey bucket’.

the term honey bucket traditionally refers to a chamberpot, a bucket used as a toilet before the advent of indoor plumbing. one of those perched above the door would have made a far worse mess than a bunch of sticky, sugary stuff.
